Blood Bound Vows Chapter 28
Matteo walked into the café like he owned the place.He didn’t look around to appreciate the morning rush or the smell of roasted beans. His eyes swept the room with the kind of assessment that made you feel cataloged, not seen. People kept talking, ordering, laughing—clueless.But my hands froze around my cup the moment his gaze found me.He smiled.Slow.Precise.Like he’d been waiting to enjoy the exact moment our eyes met.My stomach dropped.He wasn’t supposed to be here.I left the penthouse because I couldn’t breathe—not because I wanted to walk straight into Dante’s enemy.He made his way toward me without breaking eye contact.“Busy morning?” he asked as he stopped at my table. His tone had that silk-over-razor quality I hated—polite on the surface, threat underneath.I forced myself to straighten. “You’re not invited to sit.”He sat anyway.“It’s a public café,” he said. “You don’t own the table.” A slight pause. “…yet.”I stiffened. “What do you want?”“To talk.”“No.”He i

I woke up to silence.Not the peaceful kind—the kind that pressed on your ribs, heavy as a hand over your mouth.The sunlight filtered through the penthouse windows like nothing happened last night. As if a man didn’t die beneath this roof. As if Dante didn’t pull a trigger with a steady hand while I stood there, shaking and stupidly rooted to the floor.I sat up slowly, my breath caught halfway. The sheets smelled like Dante’s cologne—dark, woodsy, expensive. It should be comforting. Today, it felt like a weight on my chest.I swung my legs off the bed.My knees almost buckled.The image hit me again—sharp, unwelcome, unavoidable:The flash.The sound.The way his body went still.One second alive.The next… gone.I gripped the edge of the mattress, as I tried to steady my breaths.In. Out.In. Out.It doesn’t work.The room felt too small, like the walls had moved closer during the night. I didn’t sleep much—just drifted in and out, every time I jolted awake with the phantom echo o

The penthouse was too quiet, and I knew instantly something was wrong.“Dante?” I called as I stepped inside.Silence answered.A light glowed under the door of his private den—the room he never used unless things were bad.“Dante?” I tried again, as I moved closer.The answer came in a different form:Crack.A sharp, flesh-and-bone sound.Another.A low, pained groan.I grabbed the doorknob with a trembling hand and pushed it open an inch.“Dante?”He didn’t turn. He was standing over a man tied to a chair, bloodied, barely conscious. Dante’s sleeves were rolled up. His knuckles were split. His voice was calm—the kind of calm that terrified me.“Where did you leak the intel?” Dante asked the man.The traitor spat blood onto the floor.I whispered, “Dante… what are you doing?”He froze.Then, very slowly, he turned his head toward me.“Isidora,” he said quietly, “leave.”“No.”“I mean it.”“I’m not leaving,” I repeated.His jaw tightened. “You shouldn’t be in this room.”“You left the

“Shall we eat?” Matteo asked, as he settled back with the smug ease of a man who believed the room belonged to him.Silverware clinked hesitantly as servants began to bring out dishes. But no one at the table reached for food. Not yet. Not until they knew whether Dante or Matteo would strike first.Dante didn’t touch his fork.Didn’t blink.Didn’t breathe wrong.He sat perfectly still beside me, but I felt the storm in him. It tightly leashed and vibrated against my skin. Every shift of Matteo’s gaze only pulled the tension tighter.My father forced a brittle smile. “This is a dinner between families. Let’s maintain some—”“Politeness?” Matteo cut in. “Is that what we’re pretending tonight?”My father stiffened. The Romano men at the opposite end of the table exchanged quiet glances like they calculated, and waited like power that balanced on the edge of a knife.Matteo reached for a piece of bread like he hadn’t just walked in and lit the room on fire.“Aren’t you going to eat, Dante

Are you ready?” Dante asked. His voice was low, and too steady.I didn’t answer right away. My fingers tightened around the edge of my clutch as Dante's car rolled to a slow stop before the massive Moretti mansion. Warm golden lights flooded the façade. It glittered over polished stone and tall columns. It looked like luxury, it looked like elegance… but tonight it felt like a trap wrapped in gold ribbon.“I don’t know,” I finally whispered.Dante’s hand slid to my lower back. It grounded me with the same quiet pressure he’d kept on me since we left our own house. “Stay close to me.”“I always do,” I murmured.He didn’t smile. He didn't tease me. Not tonight.The wound of my solo investigation was still raw between us. Every now and then, I felt his gaze on me. It was mixed with half anger, and half fear. As if he still saw me snuck into my father’s study, slipped past guards who could have shot first and asked questions never.As if he still heard my trembling voice when I handed h

The night tasted like metal,sharp, and cold. It bit at my tongue as I crouched behind the hedges outside my father’s estate. I had done reckless things before. But this? Breaking into my childhood home. Dodging guards who used to greet me with warm smiles. Moving through shadows I used to chase butterflies in. This was something else entirely. The estate was alive with more security than I could remember. Two guards were at the front gate. One patrolled the east garden. A new set of cameras swept across the courtyard in slow, methodical arcs. He was hiding something. And I was going to find it. I pulled my hood lower, adjusted the strap of the small backpack slung across my shoulder, and waited for the camera on the near wall to turn away. Three… two… one. I moved. Silent steps. Breath held. Muscles tight with adrenaline as I slid across the lawn. I pressed my back to the stone exterior. My father always insisted on old-fashioned architecture—grand arches, vaulted windows,
